Group Differential Measures, Srijit Mishra
Group Differential Measures, Srijit Mishra
Srijit Mishra
This lecture about group differential is based on ongoing research that proposes measure to capture the fact that same gap at a higher level of attainment or lower level of failure should be considered as worse off.

Hdi: The Old, The New And The Elegant, Srijit Mishra
Srijit Mishra
This lecture critically discusses the HDI measure, the old measure of linear averaging (arithmetic mean), the new measure of geometric mean and a proposed new measure which is the inverse of the shortfall of the Euclidean distance from the ideal.
Conflict Resolution Through Mutuality: Lessons From Bayesian Updating, Srijit Mishra
Conflict Resolution Through Mutuality: Lessons From Bayesian Updating, Srijit Mishra
Srijit Mishra
If priors are deterministic (zero or unity) and conditional evidence is uncertain (lies between zero and one) then Bayesian updating will lead to posteriors that are the same as priors. This in a sense explains the persistence of fundamentalist belief. Under such a belief system, only if conditional evidence is deterministic and diametrically opposite to that of the prior then a process of change can set in. Conflict resolution is possible through dialogues that calls for mutual respect and allows reasonable pluralism – a Rawlsian prerequisite. If interaction is the basis then self-defeating scenarios can be avoided by giving space …
Persistence Of Crisis In Indian Agriculture: Need For Technological And Institutional Alternatives, Srijit Mishra, D. Narasimha Reddy
Persistence Of Crisis In Indian Agriculture: Need For Technological And Institutional Alternatives, Srijit Mishra, D. Narasimha Reddy
Srijit Mishra
The crisis in Indian agriculture has two dimensions - agricultural developmental and agrarian livelihood. Some aspects of the agricultural crisis are decelertion in production, productivity and value of output from early 1990s in almost all crops. Withdrawal of the state from public investment in irrigation and related infrastructure, providing access to formal credit, and waning link between research & extension and farming. As a result, the farmer faces multiple risks, vagaries of weather, price shocks, and spurious inputs among others, further compromising on his already lower returns. On agrarian crisis, what is worrying is that the deceleration in agriculture happened …
